What are Skin Tags and Warts?

Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths that commonly appear on the neck, underarms, eyelids, or body folds.

Warts are rough, raised skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and may spread through touch or shaving.

Though harmless, both can be cosmetically bothersome or irritating when rubbed by clothing or jewellery.

Why Remove Them?

To improve skin appearance and texture
To prevent irritation, bleeding, or infection
To stop viral warts from spreading
For smoother skin and easier shaving or grooming
